Modern Marriage Synopsis
Neglectful husband Hugh Varley learns that his wife, Denise, is infatuated with philanderer Frank Despard. She enters Frank's apartment to recover some incriminating letters and makes a quick exit, unaware that the occupant is subsequently murdered. Denise seeks refuge in the apartment of Cort Maitland, who knows of her affair with Frank. Hugh later comes to his wife's defense when Cort attempts burglary and assault. In the struggle, Cort accidentally shoots himself and confesses to murdering Frank before he dies.
Into the Light Synopsis
A simple country girl, brutally mistreated by her stepfather, awakens first the sympathy, then the love, of The Boy. The Spider, who lusts after The Girl, makes a bargain with the stepfather and takes her to the city where, kept prisoner, she is soon broken in health and spirit. Cast out and near death, she is taken in by The Boy. Following the demise of The Spider, The Boy takes her to church, where he prays, and after many hours she is restored to health.
"Modern Marriage" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "Into the Light" offers its own unique cult appeal.
